Equator Principles Association (EPA)

The Equator Principles Association (EPA) is an international nonprofit organization representing financial institutions that have adopted the Equator Principles, a risk management framework for determining, assessing, and managing environmental and social risks in project finance. The Equator Principles are widely used by banks and financial institutions to guide responsible financing decisions for large infrastructure and industrial projects. The framework aligns with international standards such as those of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and promotes improved environmental and social governance in global project finance.
